ladders & boxes

Posted by me melodia

Less:

We still have a long way to go before I feel settled in the new house.
I'm really wishing I had some of those snazzy Bewitched powers right about now.
The best part about moving is redecorating and art buying.
One of the first things I plan on doing for the new house is commissioning a neon prop ladder inspired by Ben Jones, but first my sexy step ladder and cardboard boxes need to vacate.

heat of the jungle

Posted by me melodia

I'm in love with my recent $1.25 book score:

The Complete Basic Book of Home Decorating has been stimulating my 1960s deprived eyeballs. I'm seriously motivated to incorporate some of these"basics" from circa 1976.
This opulent rosy feline bedroom is among my favorite concept looks:

description: Teens with tiny rooms might consider the airy chic of wicker furniture. This small room becomes a real den with the wildlife running riot on the walls and floor. The brilliant color combination of marigold and shocking pink, cuts the apparent size and adds to the intimacy. Desktop and accessories in stark white cut cool down the heat of the jungle.

A few inspired pieces:

grrrr; Beale Loung Chair cb2; Wicker Club Chair; Retro Crosley Princess Phone;
Nancy White, between the backbeat, Oil on plexi. Takada Gallery, sheep rug
Jonathan Adler pillows;Brass Table Clock; lacquered cube table, color org-ed books, studio nommo wallpaper

I think I'd rather rock a spinal column chair than a skinny girl must have.

apartment tour

Posted by me melodia

I've been meaning to showcase my tiny apartment for a while now. Seeing that we'll most likely be moving, now's a better time than ever to share the little box with you guys. I absolutely adore our itty bitty 600sqft space. This is no selby feature but it'll have to do.

♥

Here we have our bedroom with attached bathroom & balcony.
I think the tealtown chandelier curtains add some charm but my favorite part of this room is the family photo wall. Anytime I spot white frames I just have to pick a few up.

vintage fan, mustachio labbits, kozyndan bunny wave print and a polaroid from Berlin atop a refurnished dresser my dad made:

my thrift store rococo mirror brought down from Boston:

the living room: Ikea furnishings, J.Adler, LPP prints, faux moose, the 3rd roommate the TV:

the divorced sectional, Bf's bike, shophouse book mobile, my first papercuts, the "girls"

Denise Simon Animals detail:

my treasure wall: Nana, Brimfield scores, found Love Letters book in a homemade shadowbox

detail of the built ins

more built in: titmouse, found book, vintage x-mas decor from my parents.

the office:

Le kitchen

alt views of office. Ikea dvd case re purposed at toy chest:

Our girls by Lovedtodeath

detail of family wall

detail of my bedside table

our lady baltimore suitcase table, the hoof and a sliver of our bird nest

detail of our wooden wreath from Acquire boutique:

I made these bitches:

detail of my found vintage love letters book:

I love my Shophouse mobile and vintage German sea mammal chart:

Although our building is is old and lacks any curb appeal-- our unit has been renovated. Sadly, the inner workings of the building are deteriorating and the pipeage is questionable. We don't want to potentially deal with an other flood. We've been living here for nearly a year and a half. That's a bit of a record for us-- we're always on the move.
